Pets of the Week January 13, 2014

Lana
She’s a porcelain-pink skinned young lady underneath her clean white coat, 4 years young and radiantly affectionate, fully capable of hearing with her heart and coming to a hand signal too, not letting a small thing like deafness stand in her gentle way. American Pit Bull terrier mix Lana epitomizes femininity, she’ll run and play joyously but is too well-mannered to jump on you, and her loving disposition’s as pure as her smile. Lana’s already partially house trained and eager to become your perfect inside dog; meet her and see how an oh-so-pretty girl can become your most resilient friend, and your family’s too.

Thunder
Except for the soft rumble of her contented purr there’s nothing stormy about 2-year old tortoise shell beauty “Thunder.” (Well if you counted the lovely splashes of gold in her black coat as lightning against a night sky you might be onto something, but she’s really the most peaceful of cats, and at
8 lbs. forever small — cuddly, social, and adaptable too, she could live inside or out.) Visit Thunder at Petsmart to see how sweetly this warm, girly, muffin-making Thunder can give you your daily dose of sunshine despite her tempestuous name.

Pets of the Week January 6, 2014

Pikachu
She’s currently in the Adoption office, greeting the public with her own tranquil, tail-wagging aplomb — a beautifully socialized 4-year-old lap dog who bears a striking resemblance to the Welsh Corgi breed made famous by British royalty (including her coloring and penchant for following you anywhere to give you a kiss.) Pikachu’s a Camp Chinquapin graduate, a sturdy little lady who loves a leash, cavorts happily with kids and canines, and is calmly accepting of your adoration, which is, after all, her due. She’s heartworm positive and will be readily available for treatment, since she plans to be by your side 24/7. Pikachu’s already spayed, make her your home’s crowning touch today.

Allister
He’s a pure young pleasure of a cat — as rich, soft and relaxed as black cashmere, but with a purr that says he delights in your touch as much as you do in his. Gentle one-year-old Allister was found stray but his social habits are impeccable; he’s a loving friend to his cage-mate, and his trusting, affectionate personality make him a perfect pick for a family with young ones, or anyone who deserves a distinctive ally who’s mostly fur (he’s full grown but only weighs 7 lbs.) Allister’s already fixed and ready to go home right now, see how exquisitely he drapes in your arms and your forever heart.

Pets of the Week December 30, 2013

Gabby
You just found the “happy” in your Happy New Year — year and a half year young Shepherd/Hound mix Gabby will make you LOL when she gallops around the yard, but she’s thrilled to be close to you, too. She’ll come full throttle when you call her, stop just in time to keep from jumping on you, “sit” on command and enjoy a nice rope-toy tug-of-war — then lean against you warmly. Gentle Gabby was found stray, complete with her own highly civilized and playful approach to friendship; we picture her as an inside/outside pet with an active family who’ll spend time loving and training her. Come see the medium-sized beauty who’ll bring out the inner puppy in you; Gabby will make every day a holiday in your home.

Georgia
She carries the signature white tip on her tail like a friendship torch, making the rest of her ultra-plush body seem even blacker. But then our 2-year-old girl “Georgia” knows a thing or two about style, and she’s willing to share her secrets. Georgia was found stray and brought to us, full of purring social confidence and her own attentive way of making you feel special; hold her like a baby and she’ll relax in your arms, so affectionate you don’t know who’s snuggling who. Georgia’s OK with other cats and fully devoted to you; her gentle demeanor makes her a magnificent choice for children, who’ll delight in her ermine-soft companionship. Go see this lovely young cat at Petsmart whose charm extends to the very tip of her tail, then take her home and watch her magic begin.

Pets of the Week December 23, 2013

Patch
His playful energy’s as infinite as his black, white and brindle good looks; one-year-old Am Staff Terrier/mix “Patch” is a good clean kid who’ll run for a tennis ball as many times as you’ll throw it, he’ll wear out your young ones without losing his tender smile — or his nonstop wag. But ask him to return to his run and he’ll listen, Patch plays hard but he’s cooperative at heart, just look into his youthful face and see. Patch is eager to be trained by your active family; he’s highly food-motivated and can already “sit” for a treat, he likes other dogs, too. All Patch wants for Christmas is a nice yard, a warm shelter and plenty of attention from you; come get him and bring home unlimited fun, and endless devotion, too.

Mi
Four-month-old Mi was plucked from a feral colony at only a few weeks old and went from skittish to lover boy in about five minutes flat, then uttered his first word —“Me.” His devoted foster family thought the name “Me” sounded self-centered, so changed to the more stylish “Mi,” and the tiny black kitten was off and running in the world of human affection. Mi is ensconced safely at Petsmart, waiting contentedly for you to come and receive all the fervent kisses he has in store for you; he gets along happily with other cats but is most ardently attracted to his humans. Visit him is his cozy cat condo and take home a purring package of holiday cheer that will last you for years to come — your very own, forever-merry “Mi.”

Pets of the Week December 16, 2013

Olivia
Named after the character “Ol’-livia” from The Color Purple, this Olivia’s deep amber eyes express the spirit of an old soul. Her eyes will warm your heart and her cuter-than-cute underbite will make you smile. This 2-yr Boston Terrier mix is a coy girl for sure. Her idea of play is to shyly stay just out of reach for a few moments, then leaping forward asking for and giving kisses galore. Olivia’s house-ready, enjoys leash walks, and loves dogs and people of all ages. Meet this sweet girl who’s ready to share yuletide joy with a loving family.

Miss Priss
Your touch is a luxury she seems to have missed forever, but then a lady of 10 years understands the value of a fine caress and returns it in purr-force, with a gracious head-butt, an emphatic face-rub and a cheery thank-you chirp. “Miss Priss” is anything but standoffish; never was a more appreciative or affectionate stray found. She comes when you call her, quick to join in a juicy conversation and revel in all things social, a blast of a companion who knows how to get along with other cats, and keep a nice box too. Meet our oh-so-pleasant Miss Priss and take her home for Christmas; you’ll feel warm every time you remember you brought her in from the cold, and every moment she shows you her endless gratitude.
